With so many options and choices out there, it becomes
difficult for the modern rider to decide what kind of protective motorcycle
jeans would be best for them. One thing to be established as a rule is that you
need both high quality fabric and ample amount of inner protective lining along
with impact resistant armour. These will give you protection against abrasion, heat,
tear and impact. But how do you choose the best options for each of these and
more categories?
This guide discusses important points that you should
consider before buying a pair of protective motorcycle jeans and steer
clear of rip-offs. It will help you narrow down your options to the most
suitable ones based on certain factors.
Choice of Protective Material
The moto-clothing industry hosts a great number of protective materials with
new improvements being made every year. The most famous of these are DuPont
Kevlar, generic aramid, Cordura, Leather, Dyneema etc. Before you buy a pair of
motorcycle jeans for the road, weigh the pros and cons of the material being
used and the way it’s been incorporated into the jeans. For example, low
quality Kevlar mixed with other synthetic fabrics will make a poor protective
layer for a pair of jeans. So will excessively treated leather exposed to water
as it will lose its flexibility and tear strength.
On
the other hand, high quality 12 oz denim jeans reinforced with original DuPont heavy
duty Kevlar such as the
EVOQE Xplore Motorcycle Protective Jeans make a great choice on and off the road. Pair it with a set of durable CE approved Level 2 knee and hip armours such as the Forcefield Isolater Upgrade Armour used in Tourx Motorcycle Protective Jeans and you’ve got yourself a great pair of protective leg-wear for the road.
Type of Riding
Heavily reinforced motorcycle jeans
with a full inside Kevlar lining may not be preferred by some, if the only
riding you’re doing for the day is commuting from home to work and back.
Similarly, a simple pair of regular jeans, only part-lined with Kevlar, with no
armour for impact resistance is a poor choice for high speed open-road riding.
What you need to do is dress according to the activities in your day. If you
plan on either commuting or simply touring, EVOQE’s Ubrano XT
Motorcycle Kevlar Jeans would
be a good fit for men, while for women the stylish yet comfortable Liberte Nite Motorcycle Kevlar Jeans would
be preferred. Both these items have removable CE approved armour so you don’t
need to keep it on during normal riding. They are also currently on sale which
you can avail by ordering from EVOQE’s official website.
If you want more heavily reinforced jeans for some open-road riding, the Gladiax Motorcycle Kevlar Jeans with their fully Kevlar lined interior
and CE EN 1621-1:2012 approved knee and hip armours would make a great choice.
Weather Conditions
Denim jeans reinforced with Kevlar is more suitable for hot weather because
it’s breathable and lets the rider move around comfortably. It’s not too stiff
or difficult to break into. Due to its thermal stability, Kevlar doesn’t heat
up if the rider falls off the bike and is dragged across the abrasive road.
Kevlar’s heat-resistant qualities make it a great choice for warm to hot days.
For wetter and colder days, you need something that would keep you warm and
dry. Waterproof trousers that are reinforced with high quality Cordura are
recommended in such conditions. These ensure that the rider stays dry and that
the cold does not seep into the fabric.
Personal Preference
Good motorcycle jeans fit the personal, unique preferences and needs of the
rider. When buying motorcycle jeans, take into account your height and weight
to be used as a standard for fitting and armour placement. Also consider why and where you need to wear the jeans and choose accordingly. Women, for
example, prefer softer and comfortable materials that fit their natural curves and
are easy to ride in, all the while looking good with a slim fit. EVOQE’s
collection for women wear ticks all these boxes. Among the Layla, Liberte, Liberte Nite and
Sophie Motorcycle Jeans, every women rider can easily find a
pair of jeans to fit her preferences.
For men who prioritize comfort, one of the best options out there is
EVOQE’s Estrada Kevlar Motorcycle Jeans which
come with ribbed panels at the knee and back waist for extra comfort. EVOQE
also provides a wide range of sizes in its jeans for every build out there.
Price Point
Not all jeans are priced equal. Usually bigger brands charge you for a good
pair of armoured and protective jeans but also for their brand name and
popularity. However, it is also not a good choice to go for less pricey jeans (less
than £40-£50) as a cheaper price tag usually entails cheaper materials. Look
for a medium range pair of jeans that use original protective materials and
pass through all the safety measures and test. EVOQE’s jeans usually range from
£90-£140 and currently, selected items are on sale.
Material Construction
Good materials are made greater still through the way their incorporated
into the jeans and the stitch that holds them into place. One of the most
important things you need to take care of when choosing Motorcycle jeans is
whether the outside stitching would hold during a crash or would it come apart.
No matter how good or expensive your jeans are, if they have loose seams, it’s
no good. A good stitch locks the various protective layers together. In EVOQE
motorcycle Kevlar jeans, the outer denim, middle Kevlar lining and inner cotton
layer are stitched strongly together with some jeans having double stitching.
Armour
One of the most crucial parts of a motorcycle jeans is the armour used in
it. Armour has absorptive properties and gives protection against impact,
something no amount of protective layering can provide. Soft armour usually has
more absorptive capabilities than hard armour. Removable armour has an
advantage over non-removable ones because they’re easier to use on the get-go.
